Review on Nilight 10003W 14ft Car Charger Extension Cord Cable | Heavy Duty 12V/24V with Cigarette Lighter Socket | 2-Year Warranty by Nick Walker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wire too thin for long runs with air compressor

I was pleased with my first purchase. I needed a longer cable for my small 12v air compressor. Worked great. I'm towing a trailer and can't reach the tires with my existing cable set so I bought a second extension. The problem is that the current drops in these cables due to the thin wire. My compressor doesn't have enough power to turn on the power and inflate the tires. Compressor starts but slowly hums under load. The LED will also flash to indicate a large current drop. I experimented by swapping out the new and old cords and proved that a flimsy cord can't deliver power when you need to connect two extensions and run something like an air compressor. The cable is good, the wire is too thin for intensive use.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Older model
